pantry the very object that had been identified in the caption as a bullet, was by virtue of the December, 1975, search identified to be a nail which was removed for preservation after the December search.. However, Special Counsel Kranz was unable to determine whether'the lower section wooden frames on the double swinging doors inspected in 1975 were the same wooden frames containing circled holes, photographed and removed in 1968. Wolfer and the L.A.P.D. had no records to substantiate whether these door jambs and wooden frames were still in existence, or had been destroyed along with the ceiling panels and x-ray analysis in 1969 after Sirhan's trial. Furthermore, there were no records to indicate if these wooden frames containing the circled 896t aae daaae Jopesaeqey aye oe pauangae uaaq Jaaa pey aaeey inspection. Wolfer could not recall. It shculd be emphasized that the ceiling panels with the three bullet holes (two entry, one exit), and the wooden frames with the circled holes, and Wolfer's trajectory analysis were never introduced as evidence at trial. Additionally, Special Counsel Kranz was never able to find to his satisfaction an explanation as to why two bullets with traces of wood were found on the front seat of Sirhan's car.

No expert ever suggested that these two bullets had been shot by a second gun. The 1975 investigation at the crime scene again apparently confirmed the findings of the original firearms and ballisties ex- perts who stated that only one gun had been fired in the pantry on the night of the assassination. . It should also be noted that Ambassador kitehen area in October, 1975, spending several hours examining the kitchen area and door frame, and found no evidence of any bullet fragments or bullet-indentations in the wood paneling or in the door frane. In the book Special Unit Senator, by Robert Houghton, who had been Chief of Detectives for the L.A.F.D., DeWayne Wolfer stated on page 97, "There's still a lot of work to be, done concerning the kitchen area crime scene. We've been over the kitchen area twice, and are going at least one more time. It is unbelievable how many damn holes there are in that kitchen ceiling. Even the doors have holes in them, which can be mistaken for bullet holes. We have three bullets that definitely came from the gun taken from Sirhan, one from Kennedy, one from Goldstein, and one from Weisel. At this point I can't be too sure about the rest of the ballistics evidence. We have bullet fragments from Kennedy's head but right now all I can say for sure is that they're Mini Mag brand ammunition, the same kind that Sirhan is supposed to have bought, and the kind that's in the other victims. As'to the trajectory of the bullets, our pre- liminary examination shows one bullet fired from less than one inch, into the head of the Senator." t7 7
